Now that Invictus is over I can respond to this. I guess it's a much newer mindset than I thought, but I emphasized competing wagons quite a bit on D1 there. The worst D1 is when there's a single uncontested wagon on a low-activity player and it flips town.In post 1432, Datisi wrote:i do not remember a single time when you praised vca or did it?It's always the same.

Nah, it totally makes sense, I've been there.It's always the same. When you fire that first shot, no matter how right you feel, you have no idea who's going to die.

So, hutmeil has been DEADSET on vulture maf. Dragons come in. completely drops it. All that's left in the bottom of hut's reads are the 3 lurkers, which hut SRs for lurking. and literally everyone else is null or town. Hut literally isn't trying to find mafia here. like "I'm voting my SR, who is a SR cause of LURKING" and what info do we get when we lim lurkers? nothing- Gamma Emerald

the people who have been in invictus for longer than i have, does that game impact your read on fire here?
while i don't have a problem with hutmeil voting for self-pres, though i am slightly worried about how the vulture/std read kinda seemingly. disappeared.I will straight up disregard all reason if you have a PR dream again. You can come back and be like, “I dreamt that Locke is a N2 Bulletproof Multitasking Cop and Self-Targeting Doctor,” and I will go, “Okay, Locke kill it is then.”~M- Datisi

first thing that comes to mind is "scum isn't trying to divert from the wagons". which i'm not sure how helpful it is - if the leading wagons are t/t, then obviously they don't have a lot of desire to shift that. if they're s/s, then, first of all lol, second of all the low activity of pp and hut kinda makes it so that there's not much they can even do right now other than crossvote and hope that people don't think the wagons are s/s.In post 1465, Aristeia wrote:

s/t is the most annoying scenario to analyze -- i imagine it's likely that scum would either be hard pushing for the t, or quietly bussing the s.
none of this is very helpful before flips, and it's even more tainted by the fact that it was just a major usa holiday so absence can be explained, or at least excused that way.
this is a lot of words to say "idk how to do vca, i am tired of this day and want a flip, where tf is the penguin".I will straight up disregard all reason if you have a PR dream again. You can come back and be like, “I dreamt that Locke is a N2 Bulletproof Multitasking Cop and Self-Targeting Doctor,” and I will go, “Okay, Locke kill it is then.”~M- Datisi

oh yeah, another thing i wanted to say now that invictus is over - i am less sure of my townread on ydra/std. i thought i used to be good at reading her, but as that game has just showed me, no i am not lmfao
so that slot will probably be due to a re-eval at *some point* when i find the willpower to do things in this game againI will straight up disregard all reason if you have a PR dream again.

Doing some reading of fire is my priority today. What I know is that my assumption that fire's scum game has improved significantly has proven true. The man posted 100+pages in a neighborhood with Andante and got town read.In post 1466, Datisi wrote:the people who have been in invictus for longer than i have, does that game impact your read on fire here?
He is obviously capable of talking mad bullshit now. I suspect we have all given him too easy of town reads here that require more critical analysis.YOUR AD HERE

hahahahaha I'm not a reliable fire reader, I'd say the biggest thing I noticed were his "reads" I don't think he pushed a single scum that game...
but overall I'm still thinking hut lim is best here... or someone who isn't being wagoned, like Mala. Cause the thread could be dead (I know there was a holiday) cause scum are content with the direction this is going, meaning, change up the wagons, people might start having a voice- Andante
